Capstone Stopping a Stand Alone System The MicroTurbine system can be stopped at any time. Capstone Turbine Corporation Model C65 User’s Manual (V5.XX) To stop the system from the Display Panel, press and hold the INTERLOCK button, and then press the STOP button. (If your MicroTurbine has been configured with a remote start/stop switch, simply set the switch to Stop or Off to stop the system.) A system OFF command first disables power output. The system then charges the battery, which can take up to 20 minutes. Finally, the turbine shutdown process includes a cool down period, which can last up to 10 minutes. Dual Mode Operation If the MicroTurbine is equipped with the Stand Alone option and the optional Dual Mode Controller is installed, a setting in the MicroTurbine system software enables the system to reconfigure itself to either Grid Connect or Stand Alone operation mode. This is called Dual Mode. In the case of grid loss/recovery, MT operation in Dual Mode is identical to the operation in Grid Connect mode or Stand Alone mode. Operation of the Dual Mode feature consists of switching the MT (and protected loads) from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation, or back. NOTE Note that both the Grid Connect and Stand Alone interlock terminals must be closed for Dual Mode operation. Capstone Dual Mode Controller The Capstone Dual Mode Controller is an optional accessory that enables the MicroTurbine to automatically transition from Grid Connect operation to Stand Alone operation when a utility power outage occurs. During a utility power outage, the MicroTurbine normally operates in Stand Alone mode to provide power to Protected Loads. The Dual Mode Controller isolates the MT and the Protected Loads during Stand Alone operation. When utility power is restored, the Dual Mode Controller automatically returns the MT and the Protected Loads to Grid Connect operation. The Dual Mode Controller also allows the MT to be used as an automatically dispatched standby generator for Protected Loads. The Dual Mode Controller can: • Sense the loss of electric utility grid voltage, and then disconnect the MT and its connected (protected) loads from the electric utility grid. • Start the system and supply Stand Alone power. • Sense the return of electric utility grid voltage, and then shut down the MT. • Reconnect the MT and protected loads to the electric utility grid. • Start the system and supply electric utility grid parallel power. The MicroTurbine can be configured to automatically start and load itself in either mode. 400017 Rev A (July 2007) Page 43 of 61 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.PDF Image | C65 5xx
